Hurtful words

This morning all the clouds were thick and thunder began to sound
Flashes of lightning were dancing about and rain was all around
The effects of trauma were felt inside and all the teardrops fell
Today will be a difficult day but I'll handle it all so well.

Sometimes its hard to make a smile when things are going wrong
And hard it is to  live in hope when  the waiting has been so long
So many there are who counsel us that we need to let it all go
But fail to see the root that clings is much deeper than they know

Don't be so quick to counsel when you're not even able to see
Or quick to judge the tears unless you can see with empathy
Too many times we're saying the things that make us  proud outside
Instead of thinking of how our words are affecting others inside
